What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a way for you to earn money by promoting other companies' products or services. When someone buys something through your special link or promotional code, you earn a commission on that sale.

It's like a finder's fee for referring customers to businesses.

Think of it as being a personal recommender: you share products with your audience, and when they purchase using your unique link or code, you get paid a commission.

Ten Ways to Share Affiliate Links

1. Add a QR code to your vehicle or rental property

1. Generate a QR code that links to your affiliate offers using a free QR code generator like QR Code Generator or Bitly.
2. Design a small, professional-looking card with text like "Scan for exclusive discounts on local experiences!"
3. Laminate the card or place it in a clear sleeve to protect it.
4. Mount it on your headrest, dashboard, or passenger door where it's visible but not distracting.
5. Consider adding a small incentive like "Save 10% with my code" to encourage scanning.

2. Create custom business cards

1. Design simple business cards with your name, a catchy tagline like "Local Experience Guide," your promo code, and a brief list of recommended activities.
2. Use an affordable printing service like Vistaprint or Moo to create professional-looking cards.
3. Keep them in your vehicle, wallet, or property for easy access.
4. When travelers ask for recommendations, hand them a card while explaining the experiences.
5. Add a personal touch by writing a specific recommendation on the back based on their interests.

3. Include recommendations in your Airbnb guidebook

1. Log into your Airbnb host account and navigate to your listing.
2. Find the "Guidebook" section in your listing details.
